I've seen that guy before, he has previous form for camera waving looks like he got around a bit too, especially if he called shot gun to ride in Bruce's Bren (not that I'm jealous)

Very impressive turnout for all involved we struggled to hit double figures.

NZ must also be able to boast a very high number of carriers in various versions, with all the British, Canadian, LP (Aus) and LP (NZ), loyd carriers too! Do they count? I'm sure Robin will be along with a list of those that took part and the types a little later............

Shame that more Carriers were not saved post-war and in to the 1950s when this photo was taken.

Dam shame . Just think how cool it would have been to be a young worker with foresight at that yard and talk the boss into you taking some home for a rainy day .. Dale

Default Corowa 2017- Year of the Carrier and Year of the International

At Corowa in 2017 we were going to have the theme as Year of the International and now we have seen what has been done in New Zealand we will have a combined theme incorporating Year of the Carrier. There has recently been a number restored and out on the road and there are many more which should be complete by then.

Let us know who will have one restored by then?

For the record here are all the carriers in one long shot.
Look out for the tally in the top left corner of the screen
